Dear Colleagues,
With growing interest in an e+e- Higgs factory as the next major
particle collider and the expectation of the start of the International
Linear Collider Pre-Lab in the summer of 2022, the ILC International
Development Team is setting up working groups to explore the ILC physics
potential and detector technologies, and to provide support for software
and for the machine-detector interface. Please review this new ILC
organization at:
https://linearcollider.org/team/wg3/
The working groups on physics potential are ready to begin! With this
email, we announce the kickoff meeting on May 27, 2021, at
6am Pacific Coast / 9 am US East Coast / 3pm Central Europe / 9 pm China
/ 10 pm Japan
The purpose of these groups is to advance studies of ILC physics, assist
the entry of new members, and develop concepts that will inform the
eventual detector proposals. In the near term, these groups will provide
input to the US Snowmass and European ECFA community studies, but we see
these groups as having a longer-term presence and providing a resource
for the developing ILC Laboratory.
Since the physics goals of all proposed e+e- Higgs factories are very
closely aligned, we welcome people interested in other proposals, such
as CLIC, CEPC, and FCC-ee, as well as collaborators in the LHC and Belle
II experiments who are new either to e+e- or to the electroweak scale.
We would like to develop the best possible physics understanding for
whatever machine is eventually realized and build the community that
will make those measurements.
Along with the kickoff introductions, we have scheduled at the May 27
meeting a mini-symposium on the implications of the muon g-2
measurement. There has been much discussion and controversy over the
reality of the apparent discrepancy between theory and experiment and
the prospects for resolving it within the Standard Model. A question
that has received much less attention is: If the anomaly holds up, what
are the possible explanations? What do these imply for future collider
experiments, especially in e+e-? We have invited a panel of four theory
experts to present and debate the alternative beyond-Standard-Model
explanations.
Please see the schedule of the kickoff meeting and instructions for
joining at:
